ChrisVillan Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 There's a bit of hysteria going on in here. Shouldn't you be recording? It'll be back on Thursday or a week tomorrow. The good one has been out galavanting, which I presume has no sexist connotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted September 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2015 So how was what Rodgers said a sexist commentIt's a word with a long history of use in putting women down. It's loaded. You can research that, Limpid! It would take you a few seconds on Google.Rodgers says, "Sometimes we haven't [even] lost games and the hysteria around it is pretty clear. There is maybe something else going on from behind." He goes on to pander to Anfield's fans and players. The implication -- as I read it, not THE truth, not your truth, not Stefan's truth, evidently -- is that the naysayers are not real men but somehow wussified whiners. And yeah, I don't like that.You really are getting offended by nothing.It's true that I have been accused of this before. But back on topic, don't you think there's something a little disingenuous about Rodgers' comments, even setting aside the hysteria thing? I don't think he's a bad manager, but he's stirring the pot, almost underlining any new build-up before the next match.I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half yank, half English. But half a loaf of irony is better than none, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I've never heard it with a sexist implication. Ever.Like Stefan, I've never heard it used in a sexist way.It used to be believed that the womb moves around in the body causing emotional outbursts. So the Greeks used the same word for both.It has a long, hoary history of being linked with sexist verbal and written attacks on women. I'm not surprised it would strike you and Stefan as odd.You might be correct but I would imagine barely anyone in the world had heard of the origins of the word 'hysteria'.Def Leppard for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji47] Never noticed the similarity between 'hysteria' and 'hysterectomy'? I blame modern schools for no longer teaching Greek and Latin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
